Crystal Meth Possession, Sales, and Other Meth Offenses in NY
If you have been arrested for a drug crime involving crystal meth you may feel your life has been turned upside down. There is no doubt that if you were found to be in possession of any amount of this drug your future is in jeopardy. The state of New York considers it so dangerous that it is classified as a Schedule II illegal substance and the penalties for possession, possession with intent to distribute (possession for sale), sales, distribution, manufacturing, trafficking of crystal meth have been increased in an attempt to dissuade people from using it or getting involved in the business.
Types of Crystal Meth Charges in New York
You can be charged with Criminal Possession for having a minute amount which is purely for your own use and face the possibility of up to one year in jail, along with a fine, driver's license suspension, probation, community service, and a number of other consequences. A larger amount could allow the prosecutor to infer that you intend to sell it. It is not necessary for you to actually sell or try to sell a drug to be charged with intent.
The presence of cell phones, baggies, cash or other sales paraphernalia, or simply the amount of drugs present can be enough. The charge of possession with intent is just as serious as the charge of selling which is a felony. Conviction could mean many years in prison with massive fines. In this kind of situation, you need to fight for your future. As a former prosecutor and a successful Queens crystal meth defense lawyer, Michael Musa-Obregon is here to help you.
